(Willie!)

The women of today ain't with itIf you ain't gonna be loyal, forget itI know the deal, so I admit itBecause I knew a brother that did itHe used to be a nice looking dude, the ladies' choiceHe would charm them all with the sound of his voiceHe's not a sucker, a bum, the boy ain't softHe likes to be clean and dress his ass offHe was light-skinned with curly hairHe would make his girl think he was so sincereAlways said "I'm cool," called himself an expertComin' home every night with lipstick on his shirtShe took it like a champ and let him do itUntil one day he really blew itRappin' to girls one day by the dozenAnd one of those girls was his girlfriend's cousinHe was so blind cause he was on a rollComin' home drunk one night singin' James Brown's soul"Get up-a!" bangin' on the door he said"Get up-a!" and banged once moreSo she opened the door with a smile on her faceBrung him to the bed, untied his shoe laceTook off all his clothes and then she said"Good night sucker" and burned the bedSo

(Now that's a fire!)

So never in life think that you're too greatCause it's very thin line between love and hateYou see, he wasn't just burned, the boy was torchedBurned from head to toe and then so-and-so was scorchedHe's with the same girl, now he's sincererShe ain't worried about a thing 'cause he ain't goin' nowhereWhen I see him now I say "yo bro"'Cause he's the darkest brother that I now knowNo more Casanova, that life is overHe used to drink heavy, now he stays soberShe burned him bad, now he stays alertBut I know when they make love, brother, it hurtsYou wouldn't think the girl would hurt a flyBut she proved that to be a goddamn lieFrom what I recall, he gives her much respectPoint blank, word, she got him in checkSo
